"Welcome to Earth…"
Those words echoed through the new Gems mind. The words of the so called "enemy" who took the fusion under her wing after her original master would've shattered her (or them) on a whim.
"How's the new body suiting you?"
Speak of the devil…
Garnet turned around and met with Rose Quartz.
"It feels… Strange but it feels right. Does that make any sense?"
Rose smiled.
"Ha ha ha! Nope! But that's why you're here."
Garnet gave a small smile until she dropped to the ground in pain, clutching her head.
"ARGH!"
"What's wrong!?"
Garnets body felt like it was tearing itself apart from the inside, body parts were stretching in ways they weren't supposed to, her skin would switch between temperatures of the sun and those colder than the arctic.
"Rose please go.."
Rose kneeled down.
"Garnet just stay-"
Rose's hand was slapped away ferociously.
"NOW!"
Before Rose could even say anything Garnet's body began to glow and then…
BOOM!
Instinctively Rose summoned her shield barely avoiding the blast.
When the smoke cleared she saw Ruby and Sapphires gems on the ground slightly crack but nothing she couldn't fix.
Pearl rushed to Roses location armed with dual swords.
"Rose what happened? I heard an explosion, is everything alright?"
"Yes, in a moment it will."
Tears made their way down Roses soft checks and covered the two gems, as their cracks healed the rocks began to glow a bright aura around them and they reformed their individual bodies; Ruby and Sapphire.
"Are you two alright?"
They didn't acknowledge Rose they were to confused and afraid of what just happened.
"Pant, pant, What was that Sapphire!?"
The blue gem had known everything in her life, even if she didn't know exactly what was going to happen she would at least be prepared for it.
But this, there was no way she could prepare herself for this.
"I… I don't know…"
She looked at her hands as if she was just in a dream and this was her way of making sure she was up.
"I felt that I was on fire and my skin was being torn apart from the inside, I can't explain the feeling… It was indescribable!"
Ruby covered her eyes.
"I didn't feel anything but what I saw."
Her hands began to tremble and tears formed in her eyes.
"I was able to see everything and nothing. Seeing countless horrors that could happen any moment!"
Rose kneeled down to the two gems levels, with an understanding look in her eyes.
"I know what this is…"
All there other gems turned to Rose.
"You do?"
She nodded.
"Yes, Homeworld was always appalled by the likes of fusion but especially between a common soldier like Ruby and a rare aristocrat gem like Sapphire, so they designed them to be incompatible."
Ruby held Sapphires hand and stood up tall.
"But me and Sapphire love each other!"
"You're missing my point, you were designed to be INCOMPATIBLE, both of your physical and mental limits, so if you tried to fuse with one another it would cause great pain to one another, and even…. Death."
Knowing what this meant each gem had a different way of dealing with it, Pearl tried to avoid eye contact, Ruby appeared to be on the brink of tears, but Sapphire.
This time Sapphire wouldn't be the calm.
"NO! There must be a way we can be together! To be…"
Sapphire and Rubies hands intertwine.
"More…"
Ruby wiped away her tears.
"Rose you said that we can no fuse too long with our limits."
Rose nodded at the small red gem.
"So what if you trained us to surpass our limits?"
"Even if I had the time to train you I don't know if I'm even half as powerful enough to help you overcome such a limit but…"
Ruby and Sapphire looked up.
"I think I know someone who can…"
Pearl was also curious who this was.
"Who is this gem?"
"He isn't a gem."
Pearl gave a laugh that came out as a snort.
"Ha *snort* Who could be as powerful as a gem?"
Rose gave a small smile.
"I wouldn't be too prideful of our species Pearl. How did your fight with Tao go again?"
Pearl dropped her swords in fear of the very presence of Tao's name.
"Um you know what? Forget what I said."
"Quiet."
Pearl tried to change the subject.
"So what is he's species exactly?"
"He's a Namek."
"A Namek? But I thought their planet went out in the Cold family wars millions of years ago."
"Yes but two were on a separate planet at the time. They were both even guardians of this planet before as well as the predecessors before them. After witness billions of years of mortal violence across the galaxy he decided to not get involved anymore."
Sapphire nodded in understanding.
"Makes sense, while powerful Nameks don't quite have the blood lust as Saiyans."
Ruby looked at them with confusion.
"So Am I the only one who is completely lost in the dark?! If he was the planet's guardian before than why doesn't he end homeworld in an instance!?"
Rose looked down at Ruby.
"Well he was a very… Different kind of Namek. Also as we are not from Earth he doesn't have any right to interfere with our own problems."
Rose turned to Pearl.
"Pearl you're in charge of the rebels until I return, avoid as much conflict as you can until we come back. Understand?"
"Rose… Wh- What are you talking about?"
She gave a smile.
"I'm taking Ruby and Sapphire to meet an old friend of mine…"
